Package msdp
The XML API OSS interface uses the msdp package to configure the Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP).
MSDP is used to connect multicast routing domains. It typically runs on the same router as the
Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) sparse-mode rendezvous point (RP). Each MSDP router
establishes adjacencies with internal and external MSDP peers similar to the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
These peer routers inform each other about active sources within the domain. When they detect active sources,
the routers can send PIM sparse-mode explicit join messages to the active source.
